Affected Teaching- (Isa 61:1 KJV) The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the
LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me
to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the
opening of the prison to them that are bound; Luke
4:18 is a quote of Isaiah 61:1. The Lord Jesus Christ was in the Synagogue
on the Sabbath day and He was handed the scroll of Isaiah. He read Isaiah 61
which was the description of His own ministry. In Isaiah 61:1 the phrase
“bind up the brokenhearted” carries with it the meaning of “to wrap firmly
or gird about those who are destroyed or broken.” It carries with it the
idea that the messiah will bring salvation to those who are downtrodden.
That can be applied to every human being in this world as depression runs
high and people can put on a happy exterior but inside they may be crushed.
In Luke 4:18 carries the same meaning that Christ is going to heal or make
whole those who are broken or shattered in heart. He is not speaking of a
physical sickness but a depressed spirit can lead to physical sickness
instead what is in view here is the healing of salvation. Christ makes us
whole through salvation. (John 5:14-16 KJV) Afterward Jesus
findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole:
sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. {15} The man departed, and
told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole. {16} And
therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he
had done these things on the sabbath day. This is the
whole essence of what is in view in Isaiah 61:1-3 and Luke 4:18. Why this
section was omitted in the modern versions is a mystery. Apparently the
Gnostic mutilators did not think that Christ could heal the brokenhearted
through salvation. They did not think of Him as deity, so any way they could
put a doubt on His ministry they would. He was the complete fulfillment of
Isaiah 61:1.
